Former Giants RB Reuben Droughns has reportedly taken a spot on the coaching staff with Vukovi of the Central European Football League.

This apparently seals his retirement. Droughns, still only 31, was under investigation by the DEA for allegedly growing marijuana in his house the last we'd heard of him. It's probably smart that he's left the country. Wed, May 26, 2010 01:03:00 PM

Former Giants RB Reuben Droughns is reportedly under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Agency for growing marijuana in his house.

Droughns, who didn't get any sniffs from NFL teams after the Giants cut him last February, claims to be growing the pot for medicinal reasons. The DEA is predictably skeptical. Though Droughns does not have a medical marijuana card, his mother and brother do. He has not yet been arrested. Fri, Jan 22, 2010 11:25:00 AM

Droughns, 30, is still a quality special teamer, but his days as a ball-carrying asset are over. He didn't touch the football once last season after curiously vulturing many of Brandon Jacobs' short-yardage carries in 2007. Mon, Feb 9, 2009 04:24:00 PM

Giants RB Reuben Droughns will not need surgery on his neck despite originally expecting he would.

Relegated to special teams duty, Droughns didn't receive a single carry in 2008. The 31-year-old has a roster bonus due March 1, which makes him a candidate for the chopping block. Tue, Jan 13, 2009 11:21:00 AM

Giants coach Pat Shurmur said Odell Beckham (ankle) wants to do more than they are letting him during OTAs.

"He’s champing at the bit wanting to get out and do more than we’re allowing him to do at this point," Shurmur said. "But I think we’re just trying to make sure that everything is healed to the fullest before we put him out there." It is a sensible approach considering how important Beckham is to New York's offense. The comments also suggest Beckham is close to full health. He should be a full-go by training camp.

Roger Lewis was not targeted in the Giants' Week 17 win over the Redskins.

Lewis was not listed on the final injury report, but he was limited all week by an ankle injury which will require offseason surgery. Despite the no-show in the finale, Lewis finishes a solid campaign with 36 catches for 416 yards and two touchdowns. Still, he will be no better than roster depth behind Odell Beckham and Sterling Shepard next season even if the Giants move on from Brandon Marshall.
